- Start date
As some of you mention Germany is visa free for who travel with RTD. I just talked to operator from German consular in NY. They told me yes I can travel to Germany with RTD but they would only let me fly back to US from there and they won't let me fly different country from Germany. Anybody know anything about this ? I email their visa department to make sure but no respond yet.

Really? I flew to Italy from Berlin, Munich to Paris and Milan, Amsterdam, Prague with RTD only. I think if you ask the consular they will only give you answer by what it written in the book! I never been to Cypus but since Cyprus is not part of Schengen you will be exiting Schengen from Germany to Cyprus!As some of you mention Germany is visa free for who travel with RTD.

I will advice you to take a Norwegian visa which won't be difficult cos you have a GC and RTD or any other Schengen country and embark on your trip. Don't follow all these assumptions people are throwing in this group. Yeah Germany is visa free to RTD but not the whole Schengen. If you are caught without a visa in other Schengen states that requires u to carry a Visa they might not make a big issue but that will affect u in the long run when traveling there again.Hi all, anyone applied Visa to travel to Norway? I’m a green card holder with refugee travel document
Norway is one of the most strict Schengen countries when entering thru train cos they randomly enter enter check the train.
Those who enter Germany and travel to other states without issues did so because they most often check but boarding passes within Schengen states.
I will strongly advise u to apply for Norwegian visa or other easy Schengen states visa
My lawyer told me yes you can visit your country with your green card but her advise is not to go until you become a Citizen, unless you are derivative asylum!Can green card holder based on Asylum travel to home country? is there any way/tip/solution to travel home country ? If go to Mexico with green card and fly to home country and back to Mexico and enter US with green card any harm ?
I traveled to Cyprus with connection flight in Londonhi everyone
I`m planning to visit Cyprus with my RTD.Can I cross the border and visit TRNC (North Cyprus)? .Is there anybody travel to Cyprus with RTD before ?My i 485 is still pending.
Can you enter through Germany and leave from another country like the Netherlands? Or you have to fly from the same country gave you entrance stamp to the Schengen area!?I traveled to Cyprus with connection flight in London
i dont know. I bought a round trip ticket from JFK to Cyprus with connection flight in London and everything went smoothCan you enter through Germany and leave from another country like the Netherlands? Or you have to fly from the same country gave you entrance stamp to the Schengen area!?
Did you use RTD and visa or just RTD?i dont know. I bought a round trip ticket from JFK to Cyprus with connection flight in London and everything went smooth
Rtd onlyDid you use RTD and visa or just RTD?
I used my RTD to travel to the Netherlands, Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina and came back to US. No Green Card.
At the Amsterdam airport they asked me why I carry that document and if I have Green Card or not. I explained and showed my GC application and he said okay. When leaving no questions.
At Sarajevo airport there was no questions at all.
Entering to Germany was easy but leaving was problem. At the check in counter they asked for second document GC, Visa or re entry permit. I explained the document was a proof for entry but she said when she scan the document system asks for permission to entry to USA. I gave GC application, Asylum approval letter. Supervisor came, she couldn't check in, as well. They took all the documents' photo and emailed somewhere. After 45 minutes they allowed me to check in.
At JFK, officer asked me where I was coming from, he asked me what is my nationality. He send us to secondary inspection for entry. We waited about 5-10 minutes and they gave us our passports. No questions at the secondary inspection.
